Glimpse of Miami: Road trip with the best friend.

Miami Beach in June. Tip: If you decide to buy a hot tamale from one of the local Cubans, you won't be sorry. 

If you like the idea of limitless shopping and a smorgasbord of restaurant options, then South Beach is the place for you. Shots of espresso, macaroons from a French bakery and delectable Greek food made for a perfect evening.

"...Water so clear you can see to the bottom, $100,000 dollar cars, everybody got 'em"

Sleek, modern appliances at our boutique hotel gave us a sense of upscale security. We sure did appreciate the owners' suave style. Yep, staying just few miles north of the South Beach flair was worth it.
